Innocence (2020)

Hye Seon gave justice to the role. Best casting choice.

GOD no wonder Hye Seon was nominated (although it is much better if she won). Honestly, this is the genre I love watching Shin Hye Seon. She got a wide range of acting capabilities, but I like her best in female-lead dramas or movies. Though she still got limited filmography yet, she always outshines her previous works. She got the aura that easily captures the viewers. I bet if she will eventually be paired with a male who has a weaker personality, Hye Seon would probably eat him up. Lol.
Regarding the story, that's where I gave the movie an imperfect score. I think I need to rewatch the movie to totally grasp the strategy employed in the trial (sorry I know I might be looking for something technical, but maybe as a producer, they must at least deliver even the simplest, correct procedure). I was just confused how the case shifted to another murder suspect in the same case being heard. But I think it was just wise to shift the 'blame?' to another. Nevertheless. they still had circumstantial evidence (meaning weak case) for the prosecution, making it easy to refute.
Overall, the execution of the cast, especially Hye Seon, is really good. Hats off.

"to be innocent, there can't be any reasonable doubt"

After waiting months for English subs, the wait is finally over. I am completely satisfied of this movie and the plot twist at the end made it even better than my expectations. This movie may seem like any other crime movie with the main lead proving the innocence of another but it has its own twist. It is more than just a simple crime movie since (according to Wikipedia) this case was based on a true story and there is also theme of family and forgiveness. They wrapped up everything by the end very well, answering all the questions and closing the case. The cast did amazing in their roles but I love Shin Hye Sun and Bae Jong Ok's performances the most.

Overall, it was a 8.5/10 for me, quite suspenseful with a pinch of touching family scenes. If you love crime, then this is the movie for you! Prepare yourself because are you ready for the truth?
